PriceExpert definitely sounds like an application that is aimed at providing users with offers for items at cheaper prices. Unfortunately, this functionality of the application is not proven to be real, so if you thought that PriceExpert will present you with beneficial offers, you were very wrong. PriceExpert falls in the category of adware, which means that this application cannot be trusted. It is the same with the ads it displays. PriceExpert ads will show up on your screen very persistently, urging you to click them. They will try to temp you with attractive coupons and deals, but you should not fall for their tricks as this might lead to serious problems with the virtual security of your PC. Do your best to ignore PriceExpert ads, but keep in mind that this is only a temporary solution. If you want to deal with them for good, you have to erase the PriceExpert application as soon as possible.

How did I get infected with?

Many users are convinced that for an application to get installed on their PC they have to do that themselves. This is true, but it only applies for legitimate software. PriceExpert is not that kind of application, and therefore the distribution methods it employs are dubious to say the least. These distribution methods are not countless, but they are certainly more than one. Two of the stand out as the most commonly used ones, and they are software bundling and third-party ads. The first method involves installation of adware and other unwanted programs alongside freeware. This happens without users’ consent and is used by the majority of adware developers. With the other method the unwanted software is willingly downloaded from an unknown website to which the user has been redirected when clicking a random pop-up ad. Both methods require participation by the user, otherwise the distributed adware cannot reach the targeted computer. This means that you can avoid installing PriceExpert if you only pay more attention to the ads you click and the content you acquire.

Why are these ads dangerous?

You learned already that although PriceExpert ads may present you with seemingly beneficial deals and offers, they should be avoided because of their origin. Usually users think that when a particular application displays ads, these ads actually come from that app. This is not the case with adware applications. The ads they generate come from remote servers and third-party content is implied in them. Most of the times what you see advertised is not what you will come across on the website you will be redirected to by the ad. It is only natural that the unreliable content is disguised this way because if you knew what it really is, you would never acquire it. What we are trying to say is that PriceExpert ads should not be clicked because they are used to spread malware by leading unsuspecting users to malicious websites. To prevent this from happening, you should delete the PriceExpert application so that the flood of potentially dangerous ads can stop.
